We're going through a few of the questions we have had recently on whether or not certain jobs are haram. Investment banking and other City jobs are often the subject of such questions, but we also explore what sort of framework you need to be thinking about when analysing whether or not your job is halal.

In this week's session we discuss verse 2:188. It's all about how to do business with ethics - as an employer, an employee, in our personal lives as buyers and sellers on platforms like eBay, Gumtree etc, and how we should negotiate. We also cover Islam's position on bribery and whether it can ever be justified if, for example, that is the norm of the society.

Today we're exploring a topic that affects most, if not all, of us - pensions.

We're talking about the not very glamorous part of marriages - finance! Everything from the roles and responsibilities of a husband and wife from a legalistic but also a spiritual, practical, and moral perspective, to more day-to-day stuff like bank accounts (joint or not?) and zakat (do you pay as a couple or not?).
